Many property owners start thinking about roof replacement after repeated repairs, visible wear, or storm damage that keeps coming back. Common signs that a roof may need replacement include missing or curled shingles, granule loss, soft decking areas, stains on ceilings, and recurring leaks around flashing and roof penetrations. Loudoun Roofing provides roof repair with a focus on underlayment, flashing, and ventilation upgrades that reduce leak risk. For roof repair, leak detection often starts by checking the most common leak points: flashing at chimneys and walls, plumbing vents, skylights, valleys, and roof edges. For new roof installation or tear off and re-roof work, key steps often include removing old materials, checking decking, installing underlayment, setting drip edge, and sealing flashing details at penetrations and transitions. A full service roofing replacement plan should focus on the details that stop leaks first: edges, penetrations, valleys, and transitions. Asking about leak history, roof age, decking condition, and storm exposure can also help you compare options more clearly
